The equipment used mainly includes refrigerated containers, refrigerated trucks, refrigerated railcars, refrigerated ships, special refrigerated boxes, ice packs, etc.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application number "CN201820100084.X", which discloses a refrigerated container. The refrigerated container includes a container body, a support frame, and ice packs. The support frame is fixed to the inside of the container body and has a grid-like structure. Ice packs are placed on the support frame to hold the contents for refrigeration. This utility model's refrigeration storage container uses ice packs as a cold source during operation. The ice packs do not cause contamination during thawing, can be reused, and can be used for short- to medium-distance transportation of goods requiring refrigeration or freezing. The grid-like support frame facilitates heat exchange and is easy to operate.

[0004] In the process of implementing this utility model, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology:

[0005] When loading goods into existing refrigerated containers, the goods are piled up inside the container, making it difficult for the items inside to come into contact with the cold air inside the container. As a result, the temperature of the items piled up inside is higher than that of the items piled on the surface. This can cause the items piled up inside to rot. Uneven cooling can also cause some items to rot easily.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention urgently needs to solve the problem of providing a refrigerated container that divides the interior of the container body into multiple storage spaces during use, so as to separate and place items separately to avoid them piling up together, promotes the flow of cold air inside the container, and allows items on each shelf to fully contact the cold air inside the container body, thereby preventing localized rotting and extending the shelf life of the items. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the issues in the prior art where goods are piled up inside the container, making it difficult for the items inside to come into contact with the cold air inside the container. This results in the temperature of the items piled inside being higher than that of the items piled on the surface, causing the items piled inside to rot. Uneven cooling also leads to localized spoilage of items. Therefore, this utility model provides a refrigerated container that divides the interior of the container body into multiple storage spaces during use, allowing items to be placed separately to avoid piling up. This promotes the flow of cold air inside the container, ensuring that items on each shelf can fully contact the cold air inside the container body, preventing localized spoilage and extending the shelf life of the goods.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a refrigerated container, which includes: a container body and storage panels;

[0009] The container body has several storage panels that are detachably fixed horizontally and at equal intervals along its height inside. The upper part of each storage panel is partially recessed to form a storage cavity. Several ventilation holes are evenly and vertically arranged through the bottom of each storage cavity. Several fans that can blow air downwards are evenly arranged on the top of the container body. Odor removal components are respectively arranged on both sides of each storage cavity.

[0010] Preferably, each of the odor-removing components includes: activated carbon granules and a sealing plate; wherein,

[0011] The storage cavity has two sides that are partially recessed inward to form odor-removing cavities with openings facing the storage cavity. Each odor-removing cavity is uniformly filled with activated carbon particles. Each odor-removing cavity is detachably equipped with a sealing plate that can cover its opening. The sealing plate includes a fixing frame and a filter screen fixed inside the fixing frame. The mesh diameter of the filter screen is smaller than the diameter of the activated carbon particles.

[0012] Preferably, the odor-removing cavities on both sides of the opening are uniformly recessed inward to form fixed cavities, and each fixed cavity is fixedly provided with a magnetic strip. The fixing frame of the sealing plate, which is made of iron or magnetic material and is opposite to the magnetic strip, can be adsorbed and fixed on the two magnetic strips.

[0013] Preferably, each of the storage panels is detachably and horizontally assembled into the container body via a fixing assembly, the fixing assembly including: supporting ribs and threaded fasteners; wherein,

[0014] On the inner wall of the container body located on both sides of each of the storage panels, there are horizontally fixed support ribs. On each of the storage panels facing the support ribs, there are grooves that can be locked onto the support ribs. The upper end of each support rib has several threaded blind holes that are equally spaced and vertically opened along its length to cooperate with several threaded fasteners. The top of each groove has several through holes that are vertically inserted along its length and correspond one-to-one with all the threaded blind holes on the support rib, allowing several threaded fasteners to pass through.

[0015] Preferably, two angle irons for supporting the storage panels are horizontally fixed on the inner walls of both sides of the container body located at the bottom of each storage panel.

[0016] Preferably, one end of the container body is provided with an opening and closing door, and the other end of the container body is fixedly provided with a refrigeration unit capable of cooling its interior.

[0017] According to the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the refrigerated container provided by this utility model in use are as follows:

[0018] (1) The interior of the container body is divided into multiple storage spaces by multiple storage panels, which increases the space for gas flow and the flow of cold air inside the container body. This avoids the situation where all the items are piled up inside the container body, which would prevent the items piled up inside from coming into contact with the cold air blown into the container body by the refrigeration unit. This would prevent the items piled up inside from rotting and affecting their quality, thus extending their shelf life.

[0019] (2) The upper part of each shelf is recessed inward to form a storage cavity. Items (such as vegetables, fruits, etc.) are laid flat in the storage cavity of the shelf to prevent them from falling off the shelf during transportation. In addition, several ventilation holes are evenly opened at the bottom of the storage cavity of each shelf. Multiple fans on the top of the container body are turned on to blow the cold air in the container body from top to bottom, which further promotes the flow of cold air in the container body, so that the items on each shelf can fully contact the cold air in the container body, which further improves the refrigeration efficiency.

[0020] In summary, this utility model divides the interior of the container into multiple storage spaces to separate items and prevent them from piling up. It also promotes the flow of cold air inside the container, ensuring that items on each shelf can fully contact the cold air inside the container, preventing localized spoilage and extending the shelf life of the items.

[0030] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a refrigerated container, which includes: a container body 1 and a storage board 3;

[0032] The container body 1 has several storage panels 3 that are detachably fixed horizontally and at equal intervals along its height. The upper end of each storage panel 3 is partially recessed to form a storage cavity. Several ventilation holes 11 are evenly and vertically arranged through the bottom of each storage cavity. Several fans 12 that can blow air downwards are evenly arranged on the top of the container body 1. Odor removal components are respectively arranged on both sides of each storage cavity.

[0033] In the above scheme, when in use, the interior of the container body 1 is divided into multiple storage spaces by multiple storage panels 3, which increases the gas flow space and the flow of cold air inside the container body 1. This avoids the situation where all the items are piled up inside the container body 1, which would prevent the items piled up inside from coming into contact with the cold air blown into the container body 1 by the refrigeration unit 10, thus preventing the localized items piled up inside from rotting and affecting their quality, and extending their shelf life.

[0034] In addition, the upper part of each shelf 3 is recessed inward to form a storage cavity. Items (such as vegetables, fruits, etc.) are laid flat in the storage cavity on the shelf 3 to prevent them from falling off during transportation. Furthermore, several ventilation holes 11 are evenly provided at the bottom of the storage cavity of each shelf 3. When the multiple fans 12 on the top of the container body 1 are activated, the cold air inside the container body 1 is blown from top to bottom, further promoting the flow of cold air inside the container body 1. This ensures that the items on each shelf 3 can fully contact the cold air inside the container body 1, further improving the refrigeration efficiency.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the odor-removing components includes: activated carbon particles 6 and a sealing plate 7; wherein,

[0036] The storage cavity has two sides that are partially recessed inward to form odor-removing cavities with openings facing the storage cavity. Each odor-removing cavity is uniformly filled with activated carbon particles 6. Each odor-removing cavity is detachably provided with a sealing plate 7 that can cover its opening. The sealing plate 7 includes a fixing frame and a filter screen fixed inside the fixing frame. The mesh diameter of the filter screen is smaller than the diameter of the activated carbon particles 6.

[0037] In the above solution, the activated carbon particles 6 are blocked in the odor removal chamber by the sealing plate 7 to prevent the activated carbon particles 6 from scattering out during transportation. The sealing plate 7 is composed of a fixed frame and a filter screen fixed in the fixed frame.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the odor-removing cavities located on both sides of the opening are uniformly recessed inward to form fixed cavities, and each fixed cavity is fixedly provided with a magnetic strip 10. The fixing frame of the sealing plate 7, which is made of iron or magnetic material and is opposite to the magnetic strip 10, can be adsorbed and fixed on the two magnetic strips 10.

[0039] In the above scheme, the fixing frame of the sealing plate and the two magnetic strips 10 are attracted together by the attraction. When in use, the fixing frame of the sealing plate 7 is directly aligned with the two magnetic strips 10, and the sealing plate 7 is fixed on the opening of the odor removal chamber by the attraction, so as to prevent the activated carbon particles 6 stored in the odor removal chamber from falling out.

[0040] In addition, the filter screen can connect the odor removal chamber to the storage chamber, so that the activated carbon particles 6 stored in the odor removal chamber can adsorb the odors generated by the items in the container body 1, thereby achieving the deodorization effect.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the storage panels 3 is detachably and horizontally assembled inside the container body 1 by means of a fixing assembly, the fixing assembly including: a supporting rib 2 and a threaded fastener 5; wherein,

[0042] On the inner wall of the container body 1 located on both sides of each of the storage panels 3, there are horizontally fixed support ribs 2.

The upper end of each support rib 2 is provided with several threaded blind holes that are equally spaced and vertically opened along its length direction to cooperate with several threaded fasteners 5. The top of each slot 4 is vertically penetrated along its length direction into several through holes that correspond one-to-one with all the threaded blind holes on the support rib 2 and allow several threaded fasteners 5 to pass through.

[0043] In the above scheme, during use, the slots 4 on both sides of the shelf 3 are aligned with the corresponding two support ribs 2, and the shelf 3 is pushed from one end of the two support ribs 2 onto the two support ribs 2, so that the two slots 4 on the shelf 3 are engaged with the corresponding two support ribs 2, and the two rows of through holes on both sides of the shelf 3 correspond one-to-one with the two rows of threaded blind holes on the two support ribs 2. Several threaded fasteners 5 pass through several through holes on the shelf 3 and are screwed into the threaded blind holes on the corresponding support ribs 2 to fix the shelf 3.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two angle irons 8 for supporting the storage board 3 are respectively horizontally fixed on the inner walls of both sides of the container body 1 located at the bottom of each of the storage boards 3.

[0045] In the above scheme, the angle iron 8 is used to improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the shelf 3 structure.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the container body 1 is provided with an opening and closing door, and the other end of the container body 1 is fixedly provided with a refrigeration unit 9 capable of cooling its interior.

[0047] In the above scheme, the refrigeration end (cold air outlet) of the refrigeration unit 9 is connected to the interior of the container body 1. When the container body 1 has an external power supply, the refrigeration unit 9 can refrigerate and freeze the items inside the container.

[0048] The refrigeration unit 9 is a known existing technology, so its specific structure and operating principle will not be described in detail here.
